1252009 ANNUAL REPORT
Ten Years of Cities Alliance Finances
From its inception, the Cities Alliance has received
strong support from the main international development
agencies that give priority to city and urban develop-
ment issues. Ten donor governments pledged at least
the minimum $250,000 membership contribution during
the inaugural meeting of the Cities Alliance Consultative
Group (Berlin, 1999) or in the immediate months after-
wards. All of the G-7 nations plus the Netherlands, Nor-
way, and Sweden joined the World Bank, UN-HABITAT,
and the organised representatives of cities and local
governments as founding members of the Alliance.
United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) and
Metropolis currently represent cities on the governing
board, holding four seats with no annual membership
contribution required.
The initial budget taken to Berlin in December 1999
called for mobilising $40 million during the fi rst three
years (2000–02). Although it took four years for Cities
Alliance members to meet that target, the Alliance’s
fi nancial picture has remained strong. The Alliance’s
founding members committed more than $120 million
during its fi rst 10 years.
Additional commitments of more than $6 million have
been made by new development agencies joining the
Alliance, including three new multilaterals UNEP, the
Asian Development Bank [ADB], the European Union
[EU]) and the governments of Australia and Spain.
A prominent feature of the Cities Alliance has been the
participation of developing country governments, which
are allowed full membership for a minimum annual con-
tribution of $50,000. Six governments have made this fi -
nancial commitment: Brazil, Chile, Ethiopia, Nigeria, the
Philippines, and South Africa. Starting in 2007, Brazil
voluntarily increased its annual contribution to $75,000.
The leading international network of slum dweller or-
ganisations, Shack/Slum Dwellers International (SDI),
joined the Alliance in 2007, with its annual membership
contribution funded by the government of Norway.
Most of Cities Alliance funding has been used for a
grant facility for slum upgrading and city development
strategy projects, serving all developing regions. The
main business line of the Alliance is administration of
the grant facility, complemented by a small portfolio of
learning, knowledge sharing, and communication ac-
tivities implemented by the Cities Alliance Secretariat.
During the early years of the Alliance, most grant facil-
ity projects were executed by the World Bank and UN-
HABITAT on behalf of the benefi ciary cities and coun-
tries. In recent years, an increasing share of projects is
executed directly by country-level recipients, following
an alignment of Cities Alliance policy with the aid ef-
fectiveness agenda. During fi scal 2009, the funding for
nearly 60 percent of approved projects went to national
and local governments or their civil society partners.

Fiscal Year 2009 Highlights
Cities Alliance members sponsored 17 new city devel-
opment strategies (CDSs) and slum-upgrading projects
as part of the $11.6 million work programme approved
during fi scal year 2009, including $9 million approved
from core funds. The core fund approvals were 17 per-
cent higher than in fi scal year (FY) 08, and disburse-
ments were up 5 percent.
Projects in Latin America and the Caribbean were the
largest regional recipients of grants in FY09, receiv-
ing US$2.1 million in allocations, 18 percent of the to-
tal approved. Projects in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia
received 16 percent of grant funding. More than 50
percent of funding was allocated for global and multire-
gional activities, including funding of the Cities Alliance
Secretariat. Also included was nearly $1.4 million in joint
work programme activities with Alliance members, most
focused on learning and knowledge activities, such as
environment, climate change, and municipal fi nance.
The fi nancial highlight of FY09 was a commitment of $15
million to the Cities Alliance from the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation for of the Land, Services and Citi-
zenship programme. The project will be implemented
in fi ve low-income countries, working programmatically
to facilitate a partnership between area-based organi-
sations of slum dwellers with all levels of government.
The project is supported by Cities Alliance members to
develop citywide strategies to upgrade existing slums
and to help cities and their citizens plan and implement
strategies for future growth.
